With such a limited time to spend with youth, it's important to instill in them a desire to help others pursue God.

Key Points:

  • The goal for youth ministry should be to make disciples who make disciples.
  • God wants every Christian to be a disciple who makes disciples.
  • You don’t have to be an adult to make a disciple.
  • Youth need help in becoming disciple-makers (2 Timothy 2:2).
  • The small group is the best place to grow disciples.
